Well you are an inspiration for others. Can you share some useful knowledge so others can benefit from your experiences?
No one asked you because you already have a degree in CS. But for a non CS graduate things are different I guess
What is in CS that makes it a field that can be self taught? Can you become a self taught physicist? I think you can't. Then what is the difference between studies in CS and physics?
Yes alienation from the academic community
Because you don't stand on the shoulders of giants?
But you can't use this knowledge to build something significant that community calls you a computer scientist.
Exactly.
You can't call yourself a computer scientist by doing self taught education. That's the biggest problem with it
You couldn't say computer scientist
All this is needed for becoming a better what?
Calling it a pair programmer is a bit exaggeration though. How can it match a human?
Windows is reliable for general public.
Yup their recommendation is very good now.
The poster did not say what exactly is his problem with indian videos. Because he did not say if the videos he encounters are not in English.
Do you want to be in the payload? We can get you there really fast. Just strap on a giant booster to your back. Direct transfer
No bro, this guy talks in broad sense only.
Are you even a scientist that you are talking about dynamics of exchange of technology? I mean are you qualified enough to talk like this? Just asking in good faith
There was a technical snag last week which was identified one hour before launch. So it was rescheduled today after correcting the problem. Hence the second try.
I can definitely say that you just have an average mind.
Lol
The first realistic attempt to analyze extra-terrestrial civilizations from the point of view of the laws of physics and the laws of thermodynamics was by Russian astrophysicist Nicolai Kardashev. He based his ranking of possible civilizations on the basis of total energy output which could be quantified and used as a guide to explore the dynamics of advanced civilizations:
Type I: this civilization harnesses the energy output of an entire planet.
Type II: this civilization harnesses the energy output of a star, and generates about 10 billion times the energy output of a Type I civilization.
Type III: this civilization harnesses the energy output of a galaxy, or about 10 billion time the energy output of a Type II civilization.
A Type I civilization would be able to manipulate truly planetary energies. They might, for example, control or modify their weather. They would have the power to manipulate planetary phenomena, such as hurricanes, which can release the energy of hundreds of hydrogen bombs. Perhaps volcanoes or even earthquakes may be altered by such a civilization.
A Type II civilization may resemble the Federation of Planets seen on the TV program Star Trek (which is capable of igniting stars and has colonized a tiny fraction of the near-by stars in the galaxy). A Type II civilization might be able to manipulate the power of solar flares.
A Type III civilization may resemble the Borg, or perhaps the Empire found in the Star Wars saga. They have colonized the galaxy itself, extracting energy from hundreds of billions of stars.
By contrast, we are a Type 0 civilization, which extracts its energy from dead plants (oil and coal). Growing at the average rate of about 3% per year, however, one may calculate that our own civilization may attain Type I status in about 100-200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in about 100,000 to a million years. These time scales are insignificant when compared with the universe itself.
On this scale, one may now rank the different propulsion systems available to different types of civilizations:
Type 0
Chemical rockets, Ionic engines, Fission power, EM propulsion (rail guns)
Type I
Ram-jet fusion engines, Photonic drive
Type II
Antimatter drive, Von Neumann nano probes
Type III
Planck energy propulsion
Oh I was thinking something very similar few minutes ago and when I opened hacker news and saw this post I was amazed

Going to watch interstellar. Let's see what entanglement really is!
Wow! This is interesting and kind of motivating also
